IMPORTANT NOTE:

NEW Officials MUST register online for a clinic AFTER they complete the online modules.  All clinic fees will be paid at the clinic. For more information on clinic fees go to the "Clinic Registration" section.

With the initiative of the Hockey University part of the clinic, NBHOA/HNB is able to move their new officials’ clinic to half-day clinics. This has provided the opportunity for associations to host an on-ice clinic following the classroom clinic, check the clinic schedule for ice times.
